Motor mounts

[RL7]

I was chatting up a tech guy from energy suspension and his magic number was shore a 60. I havent found a supplier for polyurethane but have a bunch of projects to use it on. Care to divulge a supplier?

If you do a search on ebay for rtv urethane(urethane rtv items - Get great deals on Crafts items on eBay.com!), that's the stuff I used. It was a little cheaper when I got it several years ago, but has worked well. I think I got a gallon kit and it was probably enough to make at least 2-3 sets of mounts.

I'm making about 389AWHP right now and the polys vibrate a great deal when idling. It's not too bad when driving though.

Once you get a JIC suspension system the motor mounts are the least of your worries lol... You can feel everything as this suspension is hella stiff.

is that the softest setting? if so...DAYUM!

my d2's are actually about equal to stock when they're on the softest setting. i actually liked my stock; but this is lighter. plus, there's no way i could have found springs to fix the problem i had with my rears.

...now, instead of my tires rubbing on the fender, i get to worry about my coilovers rubbing the rear axle flanges when they are fully extended....

I have them tuned for best handling. I don't adjust them or touch them at all. lol I like them stiff, feels like a real sports car. If i wanted a daily driver I would buy a honda lol...

...when you get another 10 years on you, you'll change your tune. hell, i can't tell you how many guys i've heard say they were tired of DD'ing their VR4 and wanted something automatic/more comfortable/got better gas mileage.

my car handles plenty fine as it is. and if i don't like it, it's all of a 2 minute job to pull out the adjuster and crank them to the opposite end.

Oh man, trust me... I been around the block a few times. This car isn't going to be my Daily driver for long. To loud to talk while driving and PD/CHP like to stare me down... Guess that keeps me in check so I don't go smashing around city corners lol! But freeway interchanges. I love the loops and ones that have high bank corners... sign says 25mph my speedo says 60+ lol. It's just going to end up being a weekend car once everything's said and done.

yeah, you should just sell it and buy a vr4 now; before you get too attached & end up paying 5-figures to turn it into one.

I would rather convert my 3kGT into a RWD then get a VR4 for the road course. Nah thats a lie lol VR4 would be fully modded tho. and this car is still more fun then a VR4 because I can mash the gas down around a corner and still be in control. FWD's are fun. I have been able to mash around many AWD cars in corners in my FWD's =) RWD is fun too but drifting on a mountain road can make your A-hole pucker up hard core. lol

if your fwd is out-handling awd's, one of two things is happening:

1. the awd's have no power.
2. the drivers suck.

erron will tell you straight up; awd+aws is a potent combination; unmatched by anything out there. there is a learning curve to it, but once you have mastered it, you are much more capable than you would be behind the wheel of nearly any other vehicle in existence (except, perhaps, for a comptech NSX). if i was into hardcore road-racing, that's what i would want. stock 3.0L, dr750's for spool, and aws to give me better slip angle for the twisties.

do NOT underestimate what aws can do in the hands of a skilled driver.
